    Lots of laughs paper over the cracks

    The film isn't perfect and has a slight feel of cheap TV movie but the gags are written well most I've laughed at a film in quite some time and is mostly well written. The storyline gets by and great cameos by Johnny Vegas and others hold it together. Overall an enjoyable film even if it didn't feel slightly tacky and jumpy storyline wise at times.

    Eaten by Lions

    Comedy drama.

    Starts very strong with a heart-warming plot and frequent LOL humour.

    Two half-brothers Omar and Pete are on a journey to find Omar's estranged father after their granny (who looked after them) passes away.

    Pete is played by Jack Carroll, who UK viewers might recognise, but might not know why? He was a very young comedian and runner up in a recent Britain's got Talent contest. I think he was well cast and showed he can be a first rate actor as well.

    Also stars Johnny Vegas, another well-known UK comedian, who wasn't used enough, he stole every scene. This is a great British film, which unfortunately really loses its way during the Rolls Royce sketch.

    East is East meets Coronation Street.

    Eaten by Lions, 2018. Fun film, about two siblings (half siblings who share the same mum) with different dads. Following the death of their gran who brought the boys up, they seek out Omar's Dad who they find in some of their gran's letter lives in Blackpool.

    Featuring , Jack Carrol, now of Coronation Street and written by David Isaac, Corrie writer, there is a lot for Corrie fans to enjoy. Throw in. Brit TV regulars, Johnny Vegas, Vickie Pepperdine, Kevin Eldon, Nitin Ganatra and best of all Tom Binns has a terrible fortune teller on Blackpool prom.

    Think East is East with its mix of Asian and English culture mix, with it's feelgood storyline.

    If you've been to Blackpool you'll recognise a lot of its settings, along with its more affluent neighbour Lytham St Anne's.

    A lovely Sunday afternoon kind of film 7/10.

    Very very funny

    I wasn't sure about this film to begin with but it was really good. The story is very good but it's the laughs that really make it great. The cameos are perfect, Johnny Vegas perfect. We all laughed out loud at points. Don't read the bad reviews just watch it yourself :)

    Great British Comedy

    Great family fun movie where diversity is portrayed in a positive light unlike the images we often see in the media.The relationship between the brothers and their grandma is heart warming and reminds us what a difference this can make in times of adversity.This film made me laugh out loud at the same time as making me feel emotional at times and kept me interested in the storyline throughout.
